Lafayette Reviews

Lafayette is the celebration station of Louisiana: we celebrate a long workweek with vibrant and lively or just laid back night clubs and bars. We celebrate Mardi Gras with more parades than you can count. We celebrate the summer with the Cajun Heartland State Fair. Don't get me started on sports...But every city has its issues. For one, Lafayette's traffic is harsh and is only being exacerbated by the increasing popularity of ULL. Needs better roads! Also, Lafayette is developing a lot of "generic chain establishments", making it look like every other "college city". The city is losing its flair on the day-to-day; I think instead of building so many chain shops and restaurants, that money should've been spent on developing the HECK out of the downtown area because I'm not at all impressed with Lafayette's "daytime downtown" amenities. To end with a good note, it's a GREAT place to raise a family!

Lafayette is a cultural experience one must experience at least once in his/her life! With food flavored beyond belief, Mardi Gras celebrations wild for adults and students yet simultaneously tame for children, it is quite incredible. Words can only do so much for this city. Come visit and experience this for yourself!

Lafayette is jam packed with culture! There is food here for people of all ethnicities to enjoy! You'll never have a weekend off with all the Festivals that go on around here, where you can also meet travelevers from all over the world enjoying the fun atmosphere. The University is one of the best in the country, with fields such as Engineering, Biology, and Nursing leading at an international level. If you're not into the food, friends, festivals, or school, Lafayette is still a small city for the introvert at heart. It truly is the place to come for happiness!
